Vetoing the marathon was a mistake; the nine-darter challenge is going to be significantly harder

I should have vetoed the nine Darter. Yeah. And I didn't. And now I am going to deal with the consequences of my own action... I am concerned that at a certain point my arm is gonna get like to a point where I can't throw... The marathon would've been the much easier choice.

Given the statistical improbability of a novice hitting 180s and a nine-darter, he is objectively correct that a marathon is a more 'guaranteed' finish.

Jaden Daniels is a better quarterback than Jared Goff and Jalen Hurts

My quarterback is better than yours. That's what I told him to give [Jared Goff]. Well guess what I'm gonna say against the Philadelphia Eagle, my quarterback is better than yours. So at the end of the day, the quarterback position sometimes with fine state.

Highly subjective ranking of quarterbacks, though Daniels has had a better rookie season than most.

The Eagles have a better roster than the Commanders at almost every position except for quarterback

The Eagles have better players at almost every position except for the most important position. And that's quarterback. And I keep coming back to like... I think the Eagle's defense is better than what Jayden Daniels has played in the last two playoff games.

Eagles (14-3) were better and won 55-23 in NFC Championship, but Commanders made NFC Championship with rookie QB Daniels — gap wasn't as wide as implied.

Jaden Daniels will struggle in the NFC Championship and throw three interceptions

Jaden Daniels is a rookie. The slipper's gonna come off. He's gonna turn back into a pumpkin. Three interceptions.

Jayden Daniels did struggle in the NFC Championship (Eagles won 55-23 blowout), but he threw only 1 interception, not 3 as Hank predicted. The 'slipper coming off' part was directionally correct.

The DMV is the worst line to wait in

DMV. Great pick. That's gotta be one one. Gotta be because it goes out of order too. Yeah. That bullshit. It is. Pick number sucks.

Subjective opinion on waiting in line.
